4.0 out of 5 stars Giovanni Civardi's Complete Guide to Drawing, 21 April 2008
I like this book and the authors style, the words are kept to a minimum with loads of interesting examples. Giovanni Civardis a really talented artist and provides plenty of inspiration but one of my favourite things about this book is the beautiful loose but accurate style he has and demonstrates, this is refreshing as a lot of art teaching books are based on the American obsession with photo realism- keep it loose and lively in that Italian way! I felt 4 stars only though, as maybe there could be a few more tips, but this is a great book and definitely touches the artist within. Its a weighty volume and even though paperback its good quality, you could even use it as a coffee table book. I can smell the pasta cooking while I sketch in the vineyard!
